Too bad the .25-20SS brass is so expensive. That looks like a pretty good round and the old timers swore by it and the 2R Lovell made from it./beagle

Got my .25-20 SS brass from Rocky Mt Cartridge for, I think, about $45.00 for 20. They are NICE, and since I breech seat the bullets (Winchester Low-Wall) and do NOT resize the cases, they'll last me probably forever. I've been using the same 20-30 Winchester .30-30 cases reformed to 8.15x46R since 1993, shot about 3700 times so far, and the cases are just fine. No resizing at all. You gotta love schuetzen-style shooting.

The problem with most .25-20 brass that has been available lately is that it is from BE****AM and is of pretty poor quality. Even with mild loads and use in a single shot rifle, it is prone to early (or even immediate first loading) cracking and loss... even when pre-anealled! The folks in the single shot community have bemoaned this problem for several years. The new brass from Jamison, if up to their regular standards, will be a most welcome addition! :drinks:

IIRC, some people used to form the brass by swaging the .222/.223 class case heads down to form the rimmed cases. Lots of work. The rims ended up a little thinner than the original but they held up well. I've heard of 20% failure rates on first firing on that kangaroo brass. That would annoy me.........especially at the prices they want.

It's been a long time, but I finally have actually received 100 Jamison .25-20 SS cases. They look to be worth the wait, (and the money). Dimensions are right, and a sectioned case reveals that the wall thickness and the base web are considerably heavier than original WRA brass I have for comparison. Being a Lovell addict, I will fireform a dozen ASAP to see how they do.
